New North Press

Established in 1986, New North Press was founded in New North Road, East London, only a short walk from Coronet Street where they have been since 1993. The perceived value of both Hoxton and letterpress printing has changed a lot since then but they still practice the craft of traditional printing, in the form it took for over 500 years.

Their studio is an Aladdin’s cave of traditional printing equipment and has been used as a location for films and documentaries. But it is a working space, not a museum, and they are proud to keep a library of wood and metal fonts and cast-iron presses alive through use.

They are not a ‘private press’ and actively seek to collaborate on projects with companies and individuals, as well as sharing their facilities and knowledge of letterpress through regular teaching.
